tl; dr...cliff notes: i want to bang other girls to catch up with girlfriend's giant sexual history, but i don't know if it's worth losing her or permanently altering how we look at each other.
...
I'm 22, I lost my virginity when I was 19, and I've slept with a total of 5 women.
My girlfriend of 4 months (the longest serious relationship I've ever had) is 23, lost her virginity when she was 13, and has been with around 40 men since then / before meeting me.
We love each other and she says she would take back everything she's done with anyone else if it meant finding me sooner since she tells me I am the love of her life, but I can't help feeling envious of her relatively extensive sexual history considering I've been with so few people.
Granted, I know it's not a race or a contest and a lot of her experiences were for the wrong reason (loneliness-curing flings, self-validation, etc.) and most of them ended up meaning nothing compared to the sex/relationship we have with each other now. I just feel like she got the chance to be wild with all sorts of different people and now she wants to settle down with me in a serious relationship, whereas I never got to explore and satisfy my curiosity and I'm stuck wondering what 40 other vaginae would feel like.
Some people may look at it like it took her 40 mistakes until she found the right guy, but it only took me 4 "mistakes" before I found the right woman. However, the fact still remains that she has had her cake (sex) for the last decade and now she gets to eat it, too, in the form of an LTR with me.
I don't want to sit her down and have a talk with her and tell her I want to take a break and sleep with other women or anything because she has an amazing personality and doing that would permanently change our chemistry for the worse. I know there are other fish in the sea, but that's sort of my problem: I want to go fishing without getting rid of my current catch.
How should I go about changing my way of thinking? I realize I need to either man up and break up with her and start banging other women, or just be content with my measly 5 number...but I am afraid I will lose this amazing person or never be able to find anyone like her once I'm done sowing my wild oats.
Advice appreciated, and thank you in advance.
